I've got the same problem satan, and after trying 3 seperate sets of lifters with no difference whatsoever, I've decided that my cam grind is the cause of my lifter tick. So I've decided just to live with it.

No announcement yet.
Just rebuilt/disasembled and cleaned the lifters

But the problem I see is that when I put them in at first they sounded great! I couldnt hear them at all. then as soon as they got warm they started ticking away. They were ok for a couple minutes so...85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq

bad checkvalve, I'm betting, because you pre-filled them, ran them for a bit until it dumped that oil out, and they just can't maintain enough in there since then....vg33et -blew some chunks outta it, then gave it all away.

See I was thinking that too, but "the guy" in that link said that if you pour solvent into the thigamajiger and it hold without leaking past the check valve then all is well with the valve. All of mine held solvent just fine before I put them back together. Oh well, guess I'll just dump the 120 on new lifters and if that doesnt fix it at least I will have a piece of mind knowing that I have new lifters.85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq

Did you resurface the faces to? Are the cams in your cylinder heads new? I know schneider recommends new lifters with there reground cams....Jason resurfaced his, I replaced mine. Let me know how urs work.
Just thinking about resurfacing Lifters is giving me a headache.
We're doing full Tokico Stuts and Strut bars(Front is child's play) on a 03 Maxima and the rear end strut bar is a Royal pain in the ass for two large men.

dah!!! that quote^ is all wrong! hehehe
Any ways Jason. Thats funny did you read one of the first posts I did in this thread? It said " Ok, just installed them and ran the car for like 3 mins at 2k rpm. at first I couldnt hear anything except the pistons slapping against the block then after it warmed up I could hear a slight ticking."
Hahaha low silicone
Anyways, Jason, I might take those off of your hands. How much you want for them? I was just gonna get new ones but its just a simple device and if yours are working and the price is right then... Are they currently sitting upright or bathing in oil? I know that is how lots of places say they are supposed to be kept but meh :roll:85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq

Yeah thats what I thought too when I first did my JE's a couple years ago. Started my car and let it idle in the driveway and my friend and I just kinda looked at the car when we heard it and figured that must be the piston slap noise everyone talks about. A LOT like a diesel, I agree.85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq
